+*   `partial_inserts` is now disabled by default in new apps.
+
+    This will be the default for new apps in Rails 7. To opt in:
+
+    ```ruby
+    config.active_record.partial_inserts = false
+    ```
+
+    If a migration remove the default value of a column, this option
+    would cause old processes to no longer be able to create new records.
+
+    If you need to remove a column, you should first use `ignored_columns`
+    to stop using it.
